Easy Brownie Recipe

Why not make a batch of brownies, from scratch, using this easy brownie recipe?!

Picture this: your sweetheart is at work and discovers the brownies you tucked in as a Valentine’s Day treat. Next thing you know, you’ve melted their heart a little and they are totally bragging about how awesome you are to everyone in the office — it’s a win, win.

You can even turn this easy brownie recipe into a decadent dessert, just top a big warm brownie with French vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. Hello! Heaven is calling! It’s my favourite dessert, no matter how stuffed I feel, I can never turn it down.

I love this recipe because it uses ingredients you probably have in your pantry. You’ll know these brownies are almost done baking when you start to notice a heavenly smell coming from your kitchen.

Hey Susan. You’re better off doubling the recipe with that size of pan – maybe increase the cooking time by a few minutes too. If you take this recipe and bake it in a 9×13 inch pan, the batter will spread too thin. Hope this helps, k.
